Summary/Abstract: The article examines the Roman law system for defining the status of the religious organizations and their property. The article presents the main findings about the specific character of these organizations both in the Antiquity and in present days, as well as the impossibility of applying theoretical private law or public law models in relation to their legal capacity. The continuity of the idea is revealed that in order to define the status of the religious organizations first one has to take into account the aim of their existence and of their function and secondly their participation as an independent subject in public exchange . The study emphasizes the management of the property, granted for religious and charity purposes and the responsibility of its administrators.
